How quickly one forgets
last year’s Red Sox implosion
or the Yankees playoff exit
when even now – it’s only
preseason – the two meet
again like history-magnets
and this year’s promise
of rivalry running deep deeper
than any pundit prediction
or Las Vegas line
Can’t wait to see the Red Sox-Yanks matchup at either Fenway or Yankee Stadium. With Bobby Valentine at the helm of the Sox, I’d like to see him get tossed from one of the rivalry matchups just to see if he will reappear in the dugout with a fake nose & mustache again, as he once did with the Mets.
